Denver, John - African Sunrise Lyrics
African sunrise, shine on a brand new day. African sunrise, show us a brand new way.
Give us a brand new morning, show us forever beginning to stand on our own.
African sunrise, smile on my African home.
In this hour of quiet contemplation, the stillness of the dawning calms my mind.
In the darkness, we have lost the son of our sister, though the beauty of his spirit lingers still.
This was a child of love, a child of laughter, who cannot understand the way I feel.
Is it not the sun that gives the seasons? Is it not the sun that brings the rain?
Our throats are choked with dust, but we're still singing.
Our song will not be silenced by the pain.
All around the village I could hear the roosters crowing.
There was a time it was like music to my ears.
Now all I can hear is the sound of hungry babies crying.
African sunrise, light of a brand new day. African sunrise, light of a brand new way.
With one who will be our brother, and one who will be our partner and teach us to know.
African sunrise, smile on my African home.
African sunrise, smile on my African home. African sunrise.

Denver, John African Sunrise Comments
Boring. Nuff said.
Helmut Lotti sing more Dream.
John was far ahead of the We Are the World crowd....who btw excluded him in that song. I'm glad they did as JD is way out of their league. He and Harry Chapin led the charge on hunger here and abroad. They worked w each other on this issue and knew one another. Mr Chapin was another one of God's angels on Earth. May they both RIP.
another beautiful song...the list is endless of my favorites....Love You John Denver
OMG! John Denver...Can't get enough of his voice...………..I listen to you every day 7/7/19
